Geoffrey Chaucer (circa 1342 – 1400) was an English poet, author, and philosopher. Although much of his life is undocumented, it is known that he served as a soldier, a diplomat, and a civil servant. He was a valued member of the royal court of Edward III, for which he received a lifetime annuity. He is best remembered in modern times for his poetry, most often The Canterbury Tales.
